Hello everybody! Am presenting the biggest and the funnest project in my detailing career. My cousin called me couple days earlier that he wants his 2011 f250 super duty truck sanded and buffed because it was repainted about 30 or 40 days ago and really needed it as you will see for yourself later. the he drops his car the same day and leaves. The money was pretty tight so i did not have many time to work on this truck. Telling story short i woke up at 6:15 am and started working on it at about 6:30am

I knew this is going to be the longest day of my life...:crazy:

Here is what i was looking at:

The before pictures of the orange peel











Now the sanding was complete: (1000 grit then 2000 grit oposite direction)





















After compounding was complete, i had to give it a bath to remove all that m105 dust!







 
The crazy day was over at about 10:30 pm. Had not taken any brakes longer that 10 minutes, just eat then work. Total about 16 hours in one day sanding and buffing polishing and jeweling and then some couple hours more next morning.

Lol! comment if you like, anything is welcome, am leaving on vocation morning but will be back soon!

Rubber and window cleaning my cousin is doing himself because he only wanted me to work on paint.

ohh and about 20 hours total into this huge machine, more than i expected but its all good because I had great time working on it.
 
Holy mother of God that is a lot of truck to wet-sand and buff! I cannot believe you did that in 16 hours, how old are you? What drugs are you on bc I want some too!



I hope your cousin was happy and will be bringing you more customers to make up for what he lacked in paying you probably.
 
Good golly miss Molly! That thing is a beast. It looks like it ought to be hooked to the sled at the truck and tractor pulls! What a huge diff in reflectivity and clarity. That metal flake is popping! Nice job.
 
beautiful work... looks like you'll have a customer for life now (hopefully, a PAYING customer). Maintaining the truck at that level will keep you (or SOMEONE) plenty busy. For a daily driver- especially a BLACK daily driver, I'd RATHER have some orange peel... hides minor defects a bit better. But that's me... exceptional work tho!
 
16 hours? Wow, that's alot of surface to cover in that amount of time. At least for me it is. Paint correction alone would have taken me that long at the very least. Well it looks good, nice job and time for some rest I would imagine.
 
So dude can buy a new 2011 F-250 ($45-65k depending on options, diesel?, etc.), spend several thousands more on a lift, huge wheels/tires, and even a respray (why already?!?) but "money's tight" when it comes time to pay to detail/correct it? Hmm... Somebody needs some financial management lessons?



Good work though! As I type this, I'm about to go work on my own Silverado 2500 on this Saturday - just as much surface area to clean. Not 100% looking forward to it... At least mine isn't black, so its easier to keep looking half decent.
 
that is an absolute ridiculous amount of work you completed in that time. Results look great. You pulled off a home run with this one. But i do shudder at how much I would have quoted a customer to make that worth while and how much I can't imagine you probably did for you cousin without pay. Hopefully he brings you lots and lots of business in the future. Great work again!

Thank you and hopefully yes! :wof::chuckle:
 
while i applaud your effort, I don't see why it had to get sanded. Everything these days is littered with orange peel. And the repaint looked fine to me. (OP) wise.



I guess the owner wanted extra flat paint?
